IT Infrastructure Director (Player/Coach)
Are you the type of IT leader who enjoys solving problems instead of just talking about them?
Our client is seeking a hands-on IT Infrastructure Director to lead technology operations across 55+ locations and approximately 400 users throughout Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota. This is a unique opportunity for a leader who enjoys balancing strategy, team leadership, customer service, and real-world technical problem solving.
You'll lead a team of 5-6 IT professionals while helping standardize infrastructure, improve processes, strengthen documentation, and elevate customer service. One day you may be discussing technology strategy with executive leadership; the next, you'll be traveling to a location helping resolve a networking issue alongside your team.
What You'll Bring
- IT leadership experience with infrastructure and networking expertise
- Strong customer-service mindset and people leadership skills
- Experience supporting multiple locations or distributed operations
- Ability to create structure, documentation, and operational consistency
- Willingness to be onsite and travel throughout the territory
Why This Opportunity?
- High-impact leadership role with executive visibility
- Opportunity to modernize and standardize technology operations
- Broad ownership across infrastructure, networking, support, and strategy
- Stable, financially sound organization serving its communities for over 35 years
- Ideal for someone who enjoys building teams, solving challenges, and making a lasting impact
Travel: Frequent day travel throughout the territory required
Schedule: Onsite during initial onboarding and assessment period, then hybrid
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk all day. It's for a leader who enjoys being in the field, building relationships, solving problems, and helping both people and technology perform at a higher level.
